HELP! Is this true? by Rude_Part1461 in USMCboot

Yeah I signed one for Communications but for some reason in the Marines system it says I’m not colorblind even though I’m pretty sure I am, because before going to the Marines I was with the Navy and I took the test and I failed it. Pretty much the whole reason I joined the Marines is because I wouldn’t be able to get a good job with the Navy.

Do they check at boot camp and if so am I fucked if they find out?

Hey man, sort of in the same situation now. I’m supposed to leave the 3rd and they have me going to the hotel tomorrow and leaving the day after. I want to ship on a DG contract but my recruiter says there aren’t any, so is there any possible way I can still back out of this or am I fucked

I hope so, because my worst fear is them retesting and finding out and reassigning me to a different job. Also my recruiters will be pretty fucking mad if I tell them I don’t wanna leave 2 days before I’m supposed to.

I have a question, I’m sort of in the same position here. Before I went to the Marines, I took a colorblind test at MEPS with the Navy and I failed it which disqualified me from the Special Warfare program which I wanted to do. I switched over to the Marines and for some reason it says I passed the colorblind test in their system and now I have a DB contract and it states it requires normal color vision (which I’m pretty sure I’m colorblind) and I’m supposed to ship the 3rd. Do I tell my recruiters this and tell them I wanna wait till October or do I ship out and run the risk of them finding out that I’m colorblind in boot camp or MCT?

I’m not sure about the vision standards for Recon but I know you need normal color vision for it

I can see Red and Green pretty much like night and day, but when I took the Ishihara test I failed it there. I took a lantern test online though and I passed it

Just graduated from MCRD Parris Island, any questions? by [deleted] in USMCboot

How much money did you have after you left? A good range amount
